SECTION ONE – SYSTEM DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION This section describes the main components of the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module. 1.1. MODULE DESCRIPTION The OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module is based on the well-known OCEAN SEVEN 316 probe (more than 1000 units sold all over the world). The OCEAN...
Bluetooth™ SPP protocol. The connection with the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module, among the Bluetooth™ devices registered on the network, is guaranteed by means of the unique PIN code, which identifies each OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module. PIN value is predefined at factory and cannot be modified by operator.
1.6. OPTIONAL SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS Among others, the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module can be optionally equipped the optical IDRONAUT OEM SEAPOINT Turbidity and Fluorometer sensors and, if used in fresh water, it can also interface the I.S.E. Ion Selective Electrodes: ammonia, nitrate and chloride.
The IDRONAUT conductivity sensor and its associated electronics are designed to work both with plain and black platinised platinum electrodes These electrodes have the advantage that, they can be used in both clean and dirty water without the fear of contamination.
The IDRONAUT reference sensor is in contact with the unknown solution by means of a small hole in the glass tip. This minimizes and stabilizes the junction potential between the inner gel electrolyte and the liquid to be measured.

Therefore, a value of 100 is fine if the selected parameter is the oxygen saturation, but it is completely wrong if the selected parameter is the temperature sensor, as 100°C cannot be measured by the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module. Therefore, this condition, even if accepted, will be never met by the temperature sensor reading.

6.1.2.1. Foreword Like most of up-to-date high technology products, the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module is equipped with FLASH memories. This kind of memory allows the module management firmware to store configuration, calibrations and the module firmware. A special function of the management firmware allows the operator to upgrade the firmware to the latest release flawlessly and without opening the module or accessing the internal circuitry.
When the module has been identified, it is possible to proceed with the second step. If the module identification process fails, please contact IDRONAUT and send them the “Detect.log” file which is automatically created by the programme during the identification process. This file, together with the information about your module, will help IDRONAUT to understand your problem.
FLASH memory could arise. If you have any doubts or the procedure is not clear enough, stop here and call IDRONAUT to get support and clarifications. Indication on the correct command is also reported in the “ReadMe” file, which accompanies the firmware.
6.2.1.3. Serial interface In case some external equipment (module, sensor, etc.) is interfaced with the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module through the two digital interfaces (serial interfaces) present in the module, this function allows the operator to directly communicate with the interfaced equipment bypassing the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module firmware.

(every 6 months) is to be performed. 7.1.1. Green membrane IDRONAUT green membrane is ideal for profiling acquisitions. To allow proper sample stirring, the module must be lowered at a rate of at least 0.2 m/sec. The following table shows the characteristics of the green membrane:...
It is recommended that only the IDRONAUT electrolyte be used, since its composition and pH guarantee the best performance and minimize the formation and growing of silver chloride on the anode.
Should the inconvenience persist, replace the membrane cap and/or the electrolyte. Due to the high quality construction of this oxygen sensor, which reduces to insignificant the background current, no electronic zero calibration is necessary and possible. IDRONAUT – Brugherio (MB) OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module 02-2015...
7.2. REFERENCE SENSOR During all periods of inactivity, the reference sensor must be always hydrated with the IDRONAUT REFERENCE SENSOR STORAGE SOLUTION or, if not available, even with KCl saturated solution, using the plastic hydrating cap. Fill the cap to about one third with the solution. The cap should be squeezed in order to allow an easy insertion.
The caps should be respectively filled with pH7 Buffer Solution (or simply with clean water) and the Idronaut Reference Sensor Storage Solution (or even with KCl saturated solution). Alternatively for a short time (i.e. half a day), immerse the probe sensor head in clean water to prevent the pH and reference sensor dehydration.
The internal real-time clock and data memory contents are kept using a lithium battery (3.7V, 1.9 A/h, AA type cell) which should allow 10 years’ operation. In case of accident or malfunction of the RTC or continuous loss of stored data, please contact IDRONAUT to get the necessary assistance to replace the dead battery.

315 On-Line Module and each CTD sensor have different compensation coefficients. TEMPERATURE SENSORS SELF-HEATING MINIMIZING To eliminate the self-heating effect of the temperature sensor, the OCEAN SEVEN 315 On-Line Module powers off the temperature sensor excitation when not needed. Without this precaution, the temperature sensor itself is capable of changing the temperature of the small volume of water immediately around it by a fraction of millidegree °C in the presence of a modest water flow.
